Long Lasting
I couldn't believe how well these shadows stayed. They are quite pigmented and didn't even crease on me. Unfortunately the duo I got was not really my style so I passed it to a friend who it fit like a glove! I'll definitely look into shades better suited for myself.
Absolutely stunning
I can't believe how awesome this product is. I ordered it awhile ago and started using it recently and it is super pigmented and glides on beautifully. It doesn't slip or slide like I thought it might and it leaves a luster like finish on the lips. I can't wait to get these in more shades. I truly hope this is a product that UD keeps in their line and continues to expand on!
Best everyday gloss
Sometimes a night on a town you want to wear a dramatic evening eye look and you don't want to over do it with overly shimmery gloss that ends up being a sticky mess. Well this gloss won't give you a disco ball mouth. Just a perfect glossy shine. It is pretty sheer but adds that extra oomph to a lip color or bare lips. This is a gloss that goes from daytime looks to evening looks without having to think about it. I can put it in my purse and go. I do love that they matched it to the box-o-powders but I would buy this as a stand alone product.
Also, to sweeten the deal it isn't sticky. All I can say is that this was one of my better investments in the gloss area.
Best for my skin
I think cleansers are one of those things where you know if it works for you or if it doesn't. Well, after running out of my samples of this (yeah... been too lazy to purchase) I look at my skin for the past few weeks... it has really diminished in it's quality. back to where it was before I used this product. I am seeing acne flare ups again so I started using an acne cleaner and now that cleanser is really drying out my skin! It is a vicious cycle. Purity seems to have the right balance for my skin type, so I guess I better go invest in a bottle!
Flawless application
I must say, this applied a lot nicer than I thought it was going to. Almost rivals that of China Glaze! I got this in my "Glam Bag" a month or two ago and I just recently tried it and I am pretty pleased with it. I am not sure where these can be purchased but I see you can buy them on theBalm's website for $10.00USD a pop. It does have the quality of a high end gloss but I am getting terribly tired of paying ten bucks for polish so that is why I docked it a star. Other than that, the polish is fabulous and I cry (on the inside) that I don't have enough money to buy them.
Sophisticated beauty
I think that this color really helps give a natural flush to my cheeks. When I wear it I feel like it is a more sophisticated look, as it is not baby pink or overly bright. It just gives me a really beautiful glow. They are pretty pigmented so I so not have to work the product with my brush too much and there is never any extra fall out so it glides on flawlessly. I do have pretty light skin so if I add too much it comes across unnatural but I think this can really work on a variety of skin tones it just depends how much product you use. I am very happy it did not oxidize further on my face. I was worried that it might which would come across muddy. I am excited to try the other colors because I am very pleased with the product as a whole, from the application, the ware to the packaging. They are definitely worth the price you pay for them!
Awesome Product for Not So Awesome Hair!
I get compliments on how healthy my hair looks and most recently how great it smells. Well, this is my secret. It is definitely a pricier option than the other products available but it does work extremely well. I noticed it doesn't do a whole lot with de-tangling my hair after I get out of the shower (I have fine hair but lots of it), it works about the same as a normal conditioner in that respect. I does, however, give me results! I have less split ends, my hair actually feels great! Lots of movement and after bleaching part of it out, the hair doesn't feel as damaged as it normally does when I have done it before. Since I am poor right now I can't buy another tub just yet but this product is definitely worth saving for.
A beautiful flush of color
Against my wallet's will, I purchased the new blush from Benefit. At $28.00 it is a bit steep considering there are so many great blushes these days that can be found at the local drugstore. The beautiful swirls of color were hypnotizing and for me, there was no looking back after placing it in my hand. It had to be mine.
I took it home and opened it up. It was beautiful. Tones of berry, peach, dusty pink and a highlighting dust! My first application to my face was not as pigmented as I had hoped for. I thought it might be a dud (a stunningly beautiful dud). I played around with it a bit more and I found that this is a blush you can really customize to your makeup look. You can swipe it diagonally one way to get a lighter shimmer, you can sweep it diagonal the opposite for a deeper shade or you can swirl it all together and get a beautiful flush of color. It starts off as a soft hue on your cheeks and you can build it up to really make it pop!
I have been using this quite a bit because it seems to fit all my needs for the different looks I am going for. I think that this is better for light to medium-light skin tones but if you have darker skin it would give you a beautiful (and not overly frosty) shimmer to your cheeks without an obnoxious amount of glitter. The shimmer seems to be very finely milled so it is very wearable for daytime as well as "night out on the town" looks.
OH HAI, where have you been all my winters?!
Ok, lately I have been on a rampage of changing my foundation. Trying to find the best for my skin in the winter. I normally have super oily skin but lately in my mid twenties I find myself having dry skin in the winter. This means my matte foundations are a no go this holiday season! This is a super creamy formula and goes on effortlessly. I can't believe I have never tried this before. I am in love with how it makes my skin look. Not matte, not overly dewy... just healthy and radiant. Pricey... but worth every penny.
I hate waterproof mascaras
I seriously hate waterproof mascaras. They are usually drying and flaky and I just cannot stand them. They are never black enough and the formulas as lack luster.
This is not like any of those mascaras. This is a wet formula that evenly coats my lashes. It is blacker than most of my ultra black mascaras which is phenomenal! It lengthens my lashes like WHOAI heard great things about the original formula and this was recommended to me by a Sephora employee and I should really go back and thank her for this great suggestion!
Oh and by the way.. I wore this to my friend's wedding and it is definitely waterproof!
